If you’re an author or publicist looking to request a book review, feel free to take a look down below at the kinds of books I enjoy reading and reviewing to see if I would be a good fit for you!
What I Review
My main focus is middle-grade fiction, because I am indeed a middle-grader, and it is an age category that is very close and very dear to my heart! ^^ I will happily read just about any genre in middle-grade fiction, but these are my favorite genres to read:
- Fantasy!!! Fantasy is my favorite genre, be it low fantasy or high fantasy!
- Magic realism: Ordinary life with a sprinkle of magic! I especially love these and am looking for more of these books!
- Contemporary: I love contemporary books full of friendship, identity, and family!
- Mystery: I adore mystery novels!!! (Especially murder mysteries — it’s hard to find murder mysteries for middle-grade!) Especially mystery novels that also involve clues and ciphers!
- Historical fiction: This is one of my favorite genres to read!
I will also review chapter books and picture books if any come along, however the main focus of my blog is on middle-grade books, so I will be less likely to accept chapter book and picture book requests.
What I Won’t Review
- I very rarely read and review young adult books because I really have not found myself that interested in YA books. However, there are an occasional few I do stumble across that I will read. I quite like clean YA dystopian with a bit of sci-fi, so if you have a book like that, you can try and send it along! Just note that I am less likely to accept YA book review requests.
- Any books focused on romance. Just not for me. Small romance subplots are alright.
- Anything graphic.
- I will sometimes accept nonfiction books for review, provided they’re written in an engaging way. Sometimes, but not often.
Other Info
I prefer digital copies as an EPUB or PDF file because they’re easy to upload to my Kindle to read. I adore physical copies, but seeing as how I am currently living in Asia, this may be both, er, inconvenient and expensive. (If you want to send a physical copy, you can! But I just wanted to note the possible inconvenience and also the fact that packages can get lost)
Audiobooks are not the best format to send digital copies to me, due to the fact that I am very very picky about the narrator. (I am sorry about this!!! I’m afraid it’s how my brain works… >.<)
I am open to using Edelweiss to read and review the book, but I don’t use NetGalley.
I post my reviews only on my blog. I do not post reviews on Goodreads or Amazon — sorry!
I am open for reviews for any blog tours. I am also very much open to reviewing books by indie authors!

It can take me a while to get back to you because as of September 2025, life has gotten pretty crazy, so it can take me up to two weeks to respond. If you haven’t heard back from me by then, feel free to email me again!
